Celebrating the True Keepers of Culinary Wisdom on National Nonprofit Day
Join us in preserving underrepresented food traditions—support our mission with a donation this National Nonprofit Day
Today is National Nonprofit Day—a day to recognize and support the organizations that work tirelessly to make a difference in our communities.
At BIPOC Foodways Alliance, we believe in celebrating those who hold the deepest culinary knowledge: women, women of color, elders, and home cooks. These are the people who have been the true keepers of our food traditions, yet they’ve often been the most overlooked in mainstream food media.
The Vision Behind BIPOC Foodways Alliance:
After decades as a food writer and chef, Mecca Bos felt an undeniable urge to challenge the status quo. She saw a culinary world dominated by industry standards and majority culture, where the voices and contributions of those who truly shape BIPOC foodways were often sidelined. Mecca wanted to change that.
She envisioned a world where the culinary knowledge passed down through generations—often by women, especially women of color—would be celebrated and honored. She wanted us all to gather around the table, opening our hearts and minds to the shared experience of cooking and eating together.
This vision led to the creation of BIPOC Foodways Alliance. More than just a nonprofit, it’s a movement that dares to dream of an alternative to the conventional food industry—one that embraces and uplifts the voices that have been silenced for too long.
Why Your Support Matters:
Running a nonprofit that challenges deep-rooted norms isn’t easy. It requires hard work, dedication, and yes, funding. On this National Nonprofit Day, we’re asking for your support to help us continue our mission of dismantling white supremacy through food.
Your donation to BIPOC Foodways Alliance will directly support our programming, allowing us to bring more voices to the forefront and create spaces where everyone is welcomed to the table.
If you believe in the power of food to unite and transform, we invite you to join us in this movement. Consider making a donation to BIPOC Foodways Alliance today. Every contribution, big or small, helps us move closer to a future where culinary wisdom is truly honored and shared.
Thank you for being part of this journey with us. Together, we can make a difference.
On this National Nonprofit Day, let’s celebrate the people who keep our food traditions alive. Let’s recognize the true keepers of culinary wisdom and support the work that uplifts their voices. Thank you for your continued support and commitment to creating a more inclusive and just food world.
